love you into loving me

You let go when you feel hollow

And I hold tighter when I'm scared

You could find home in a person

But you won't let me take you there

I can show you silver linings

I can give you all you need

I can be your crying shoulder

But I can't love you into loving me

No, I can't love you into loving me

We can blame it on the timing

Or your fear of being known

Laying quiet side by side, not saying anything

The silence says the things that you don't

I can show you silver linings

I can give you all you need

I can be your crying shoulder

But I can't love you into loving me

I can want you desperately

I can miss you endlessly

I can need you more than water, oh

But I can't love you into loving me

No, I can't love you into loving me

I can't love you into loving me
